My Old Things Can Talk

Thirty-five years old, Lin Ze, the youngest architectural designer in a first-tier city, received a call from a neighbor in his hometown on the night he won the industry's highest award - his grandfather, who lived alone, was gone. He stood in front of the cold floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the city's steel forest, but holding in his hand a rusty key that his grandfather had entrusted to him before he died. Numbly returning to the dilapidated old house, he found that he had lost not only his relatives, but also the entire warm past. When he used the key to open a dusty old wooden box, he actually heard the "voices" of the old objects spanning decades. A guitar with broken strings, longing to sing the song I wrote for my first love again. A faded basketball, nostalgic for the afternoons when I dominated the court with my brothers. A range hood full of oil stains, and I want to cook a reunion dinner for the whole family again. Lin Ze decided to put down his tens of millions of annual salary, stay in this small courtyard, and use his own hands to repair these old things. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
